Cape Cod restaurants: See what's new since last year on the Cape and Islands
New Cape Cod restaurants since last summer? How about three ramen shops, a boho Mexican kitchen in Chatham's old Cumberland Farms, new owners and a new name for Kate's Seafood in Brewster, and a self-serve wine bar at Mashpee Commons - just to name a few?
With Memorial Day weekend upon us, it is time to welcome visitors back to Cape Cod and the Islands with news of new restaurants that have opened in the last year.
In food news about new accolades for restaurants you may already know and love, USA Today named The Rooftop at Pelham House Resort in Dennis Port as one of the best restaurants in the country, while Sesuit Harbor Cafe in Dennis came in first when Cape Cod Times readers voted in a March Madness-inspired bracket. The Cape Cod Times also named 10 other restaurants we wish had made the USA Today list.
Here is a brief introduction of new restaurants on Cape Cod since last summer.
If you are a noodle fan, you are in luck: Tiger Ramen opened in Falmouth, Namazu Ramen is now in Chatham and Ukiyo Cape Cod took over the Brewster space formerly occupied by Fare & Just Kitchen. (Former owner Peter Duff is now cooking his vegan dishes at the Family Table Collaborative in Yarmouth.)
Codo Mexican Kitchen opened on Main Street in Chatham.
'It's kind of a play on words cause when you meet someone from Chatham and ask where on the Cape they're from, they bend up their arm and point to their elbow. Codo means elbow in Spanish,' said Michael Martir, chief operating officer of Coastal Cuisine, the hospitality group that owns the new Codo Mexican Kitchen, as well as Pate's and Chatham Cut in Chatham, Chapin's Bayside on Taunton Avenue in Dennis, The Doghouse and One-Stop Market in Dennis Port.
After 39 years as Kate's Seafood, the popular fish stand run by John and Kathy Ohman at 284 Paines Creek Road in Brewster has new owners and a new name: The Cape House is now owned and run by Robert and Izabelle Crisanti, who say they are keeping the fried fish and scooped ice cream menu for now.
J. Bar, a healthy seasonal stop in Harwich Port for the past decade, opened its doors April 4 to a second location in the Shops at 400 Main in Chatham.
The Wharf Falmouth, formerly Soprano's Casino by the Sea, has the same owners but a new name and new menu crafted by Chef Gavin Tyson who is focusing on 'French-based by the sea Marseille-styled dishes,' he said on Facebook. The restaurant at 286 Grand Ave. in Falmouth Heights offers spectacular water views.
The Daily Brew purchased Silver Lounge in North Falmouth and held a yard sale of memorabilia from the 87-year-old restaurant – although word is the caboose was not for sale. The popular coffee house and cafe closed its doors in Cataumet on May 11. No word yet on when the new location will open.
Cymbals Cafe @ The Faraway Nantucket Hotel is open, with house-made doughnuts and Partners Coffee from 8 a.m. to noon Wednesdays through Sundays. You don't have to be a hotel guest to enjoy coffee and doughnuts in the courtyard.
Uva, the self-service wine bar that opened in downtown Plymouth in 2019, opened a second location in Mashpee Commons this past January. Just this month, they added a boutique-style shop next door so people can take home wines they enjoyed at the tasting bar.
In Dennis, Erica and Adam Dunn, owners of Pheasant Restaurant and Dunn & Sons Wine, are opening Baleine Wine Bar Cape Cod (from the French word for whale) in the space occupied for decades by Harvest Gallery Wine Bar, which permanently closed.
Also, theater fans can style the best afternoon or evening out with the help of Cape Cod Times' Dinner & a Show, a feature in which we introduce a local theater production and recommend two nearby restaurants to try.

Billionaire YouTuber MrBeast ‘borrowing' money from mom for his wedding
Even billionaires need handouts sometimes. MrBeast — who's worth an estimated $1 billion — claims he's cash-strapped and asked his mom for money to pay for his upcoming wedding to fellow content creator Thea Booysen. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, addressed his finances on X in response to a post that described him as 'the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth.' 9 MrBeast proposed to content creator Thea Booysen in December 2024. mrbeast/Instagram 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content),' the Internet sensation, who boasts over 400 million subscribers, wrote on Sunday, June 1. 'Ironically i'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol,' he continued in his candid X post, adding, 'But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.' MrBeast has his hands in several projects, including the competition series 'Beast Games,' which gave its first season winner a whopping $10 million in prize money, and his Feastables chocolate brand. He recently attacked Trump's 'brutal' tariffs, informing his fans that it would be 'way cheaper' to produce his ethically sourced chocolate overseas. However, he's also been at the center of several lawsuits, including one that involves his snack brand. 9 The billionaire claims he's borrowing money from his mom to pay for the wedding. Honey 9 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything,' he admitted on X. MrBeast/X 9 MrBeast and Thea Booysen recently teased a possible island wedding. mrbeast/Instagram In May, the Mexican government sued the media house behind MrBeast's popular video titled, 'I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples,' in which he hawked his Feastables outside the Mayan pyramids, calling them a 'special Mayan desert' and 'the only Mayan-approved snack on the planet.' While the government admitted that MrBeast and the company were issued a permit to film at sites including the Mayan pyramid Chichén Itzá near Cancun, it claimed he was not given permission for commercial use. They claimed the YouTuber violated the terms of an archeological permit and profited from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' 9 MrBeast was sued last month by the Mexican government. mrbeast/Instagram 9 He was accused of violating the terms of an archeological permit and profiting from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' mrbeast/Instagram But he denied those allegations. 'This video … was meant to highlight these treasured Mayan sites in Mexico,' a spokesperson for MrBeast told The Post. 'No advertisement material was shot on any archaeological sites overseen by INAH (Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History), so it is unfortunate that this has turned into a political issue.' MrBeast was also sued by five 'Beast Games' contestants in September 2024 for alleged 'chronic mistreatment,' sexual harassment and more. 9 He was also sued by a group of 'Beast Games' competitors in 2024. mrbeast/Instagram In response, a spokesperson for MrBeast's company exclusively told The Post, 'The MrBeast promotional video shoot, which included over 2000 participants, was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident, extreme weather, and other unexpected logistical and communications issues, which we are currently reviewing, but we are grateful that virtually all of those invited to Toronto for our next production have enthusiastically accepted our invitation. 'We have communicated directly with 97% of the 2000 people who attended to ask for feedback, have launched a formal review of the process, and have taken steps to ensure that we learn from this experience and we are excited to welcome hundreds of men and women to the world's largest game show in history.' 9 MrBeast and his future bride met in her home country, South Africa, in 2022. Getty Images for Breakthrough Prize 9 The pair said their wedding will be 'more private,' with only friends and family. thea_booysen/Instagram The YouTuber and Booysen met in 2022 while he was visiting her home country, South Africa, and have been going strong ever since. The pair recently teased their upcoming wedding, revealing it won't be a show for the world to see. 'This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private,' MrBeast told People. 'I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.' The future MrsBeast also shared that they're toying with the idea of exchanging vows on an island. 'We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody,' she said. 'We're not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding. It's going to be nice, but it's certainly going to be intimate [with] close family and friends.'

We did our gender reveal at 30,000 feet with complete strangers — it was the best decision of our lives
These expecting parents pulled off their epic gender reveal with flying colors. Temporarily turning the friendly skies pink and blue, a couple, Katrín María Blöndal, 24, and Anton Örn Hilmarsson, 27, hosted a celebration — attended by complete strangers — to toast their incoming infant during a flight to Paris. 'This might be the first time in history that someone finds out the gender of their baby somewhere over the North Atlantic,' a flight attendant with Iceland's PLAY Airlines announced to a cabin full of excited passengers-turned-partygoers. Air travelers held up small pink or blue cards, indicating their best guesses on the baby's gender, per Instagram footage of the super-fly fête. Katrín and Anton, from Reykjavik, Iceland, then made their way to the front of the plane, where a customized cake, topped with decorative baby elephants and edible pearls, and Champagne flutes were waiting. The pair, already parents of two young sons and a daughter from previous relationships, used the glasses to scoop into the confection, which boasted a thick layer of blue frosting — revealing that their little love-to-be is a boy. 'We couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to find out — we're having a boy,' Katrín and Anton said in a statement to The Post. The sweethearts began dating in January 2024, after years of close friendship. Anton works as a forklift operator for a pharmaceutical company, and Katrín is in school studying Education and Pedagogy. 'This is our first child together,' they added, 'and to have the big reveal take place in the sky was unforgettable.' It's a memorable milestone that many mommies and daddies like to mark in a major way. While some posh pregnant people prefer to learn the sex of their buns in the oven with $20,000 Birkin bags, others, such as Florida-based foodie Rosanna Fontana, favor meatballs as their gender reveal goodies. Then, of course, there are daredevils like influencer Lele Pons, who detonated faux TNT to explosively determine whether she'd soon be welcoming a son or daughter. The splashiness of a baby-themed bomb notwithstanding, Katrín and Anton are content with their slightly more discreet shindig at 30,000 feet. 'We're incredibly grateful to the crew for making this such a special flight,' the twosome told The Post. 'We'll never forget.'

Netflix drama Adolescence set to become the streamer's second most-watched English-language show, beating out Stranger Things season 4
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Adolescence looks set to become Netflix's second most-watched English-language show of all time, beating out Stranger Things season 4. In the 76 days it's been available to stream so far, the West Yorkshire-based crime drama has pulled in 140.2 million views. 'Premiere windows' tend to be considered 91 days from release date, in which time Stranger Things' fourth chapter earned 140.7 million views. It's almost certain, then, that Adolescence will rack up the extra 500,000 views needed to surpass the hit sci-fi horror in two weeks. Despite its huge success, the show is unlikely to nab the top spot, which is currently occupied by Addams Family spin-off Wednesday, having pulled in a whopping 252 million views during its premiere window. In comparison, South Korean thriller Squid Game season 1 got 265 million views in the same time frame. Starring Ashley Waters, Erin Doherty, Owen Cooper, and Stephen Graham, Adolescence opens with 13-year-old Jamie being arrested for the murder of his classmate Katie Leonard. Over the course of four episodes, all of which play out in real time, viewers not only learn whether Jamie did what he's being accused of but what happened in the run-up to the violent attack and how his family are coping with the fallout. On March 31, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced plans to make the series free to watch in secondary schools, in a bid to spark conversations and raise awareness about online safety, toxic masculinity, and bullying. "There isn't an obvious policy response which will answer all of these questions", he told BBC political editor Chris Mason. "It's much broader than that. It's a cultural issue, and therefore we're going to have to look more broadly, work as a society on this, and discuss it." Adolescence is streaming now.
